Fave Gay porn stars who are sadly no longer with us...


In a few cases I may be able to be of some help.

I had the pleasure of knowing a few of these people and maintained friendships with a few of them up until their passings. . .

Leo Ford (Leonard Hilgeford) was killed when a drunk driver ran a stoplight at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Hoover in Hollywood. He was riding a motorcycle at the time.

Al Parker (Drew Okun) at the time of his passing had been diagnosed as HIV sero-positive but he died of a ruptured brain aneurysm in San Francisco. He had been at the gym and began to feel very badly showing stroke symptoms. He was rushed to the Hospital and later died of the complications. He was a nice guy and was a person I knew personally. (I am 59 years old) and I think very highly of him to this day.

Ed Wiley/Myles Long (Dan Westling) Was at my home shortly before his death from complications of Hepatitis. He was in great spirits and shared a Thanksgiving dinner with us. He had finally found love and was moving to Chicago, Illinois to be with the man he loved. He had some things to do in Los Angeles before his permanent departure. When In Los Angeles his liver went to critical mass and he died in Los Angeles of liver failure. My memories of Dan will always be wonderful ones. He was talented in many ways, he was an articulate speaker and good conversation on numerous subjects. His kindness and good soul will always be remembered by both myself and my other half.

Steve York (Steve is alive and well and is or was still living in the Los Angeles area and was doing well last I knew)

Brian Hawkes Brian was the neighbor kid of a good friend of mine and grew up in the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California. Brian Hawkes contrary to many rumors is not really deceased. He found true love and tried to retire from a business that wanted him to remain in very badly. I will not reveal his real name for this reason. The little blonde "twinky boy" was a porn studio creation that he grew to despise. He absolutely grew to hate the business and the chances he was being asked to take. He simply got out. He finally had telephone calls forwarded to his Mother who informed people that he had died of complications of HIV. These days he looks nothing like the actor of so many years ago.

Rick Donovan to the best of my knowledge is still living and in San Diego California he is "happily retired" and wants to keep it that way.

Lee Ryder (Darras Parra) spent his final days in San Bernardino California and died in that area of complications from HIV relatively early in the progression of the epidemic.

Melchor Diaz used his real name and he did indeed become an casualty of HIV.

I had a mutual friend in the heyday of porn and the blonde with the monster dick known as "Lance" was one that I at one time saw on a semi regular basis. I have had no information on him and I wonder what happened in that case.





 
Eric Stone.

Hhunky hairy and so gorgeous.One day I opened a magazine and they were sayign that he had died. No details were listed.


I would always fantasize about this stud being my boyfriend. I had a magazine back in the day that used to let you win a date with a porn star! Eric Stone was the date of the month. Then the next thing I hear is that he has passed away from AIDS. On December 24, 1996. Have always wanted to see footage of him "in action" but have never found any movies with him in it. If any has a link, please post...he's still my dream man. The kind of guy you wish you could've lost your virginity to!
 
He might not be a stand out pornstar, but my favorite is Sean from Corbin Fisher, he passed away just last march :(

I remember seeing almost everyone listed here in porn vids. Glad some of them aren't really gone just the name. Also greatly saddened by the loss of so many especially being so young. Thanks for the memories.
 
Richard Locke . . . . sigh.

EDIT: Oh, and Joey Stephano. Not really my type, but he always seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself getting plowed in the ass by the biggest cocks in the porn business. Can't recall ever seeing him squint when getting a pounding; just a big happy grin.

That's who came to mind when I read this. Still have vids of him sucking and getting pounded by Ryan Idol. Hot! He was only 26. :(

For years I've been confused about the status of Matt Forrest (who also went by other names). Some reports said he died, others say no.
He really had a great combination of stud and boy-next-door. I'd love to know if he is still with us.

i dunno but it always makes me feel okay when i find out a gay porn star died of an accident. i mean not that i feel good they died, but just knowing they didnt die of illness is not too deppressing.

i remember this model of corbin fisher he was very gorgeous guy he died of suicide if im not mistaken and he was also doing drugs.
 
One of the first true superstars of the gay porn industry was Kip Noll, who mostly worked on William Higgins films. He was a beautiful, well-endowed young stud. I couldn't get enough of him in the 1970s and early 1980s and still have all of his films. He seemed almost insatiable whether topping, bottoming, sucking or being sucked - he never disappointed!. He died suddenly in 2001 at the age of 43 of, I believe, a heart attack. He left the industry in the early 1980s, married in 1983 and had three children.
 
We criticize porn stars who get us off. It makes no sense.

Men of all walks of life view porn but then are so quick to judge them. (Those who don't watch porn are very much a minority.)

It's just sex they're doing after all (that's how you got conceived, right?). The rich exploiting the poor is much worse than what any porn star is doing (the harm they do is usually to themselves).

I understand that doing hardcore porn is a dangerous and dark way of life (especially when you stay it in a while), and I wouldn't recommend it as a profession in any way. But it's going to happen because non-porn stars demand it. Don't point the finger at this people BECAUSE YOU'RE WATCHING THEM for sexual entertainment. Don't be hypocritical like the GOP and Evangelical Christians (they're the joke of jokes). Porn stars have lives that suck in many ways (gay and straight). Don't forget that.

Help them emotionally in any way you can, if you happen to come into contact with one. Let them know they're not just skin. And if you can't be nice to them, then just shut your ugly mouth, even if some of the actors or actresses don't come across as nice.
